Phenotypic diversification and island evolution of pipistrelle bats (Pipistrellus pipistrellus group) in the Mediterranean region inferred from geometric morphometrics and molecular phylogenetics

2011-11-01

Abstract excerpt

Aim The Mediterranean Basin is a centre of radiation for numerous species groups. To increase our understanding of the mechanisms underlying speciation and radiation events in this region, we assessed the phenotypic variability within the Pipistrellus pipistrellusâpygmaeusâhanaki species complex. Although bats form the second largest mammalian order, studies of insular evolution in this group are scarce. We ap...
